kill. The majority of the birds were never properly trained, 

 and after my departure were doubtless given np again. Yet 

 the district is most suitable for ti)e sport of falconry, and 

 during the winters of 11117-1918 and 1918-1919 T enjoyed 

 most excellent sport with my own trained birds, usually 

 preferring to see a small bag killed with the Falcons to a 

 larger one obtained with my gun. It may be of interest to 

 ap[)end the list of game killed by my own birds.

 invaluable work, ' Die Vogel der palaiirktischen Faima '; to it 

 and the author I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness. 



Finally, 1 wish to record the tact that this paper is due to 

 the help and encouragement which I have received, not only
